Storyboarding — A better way of planning and writing proposals

Proposal schedules often are too short to permit adequate planning, good organization, and determination of the interactive effects of changes during preparation by the more commonly used methods. The storyboard technique, with its modular format, enforces a writing discipline that sharpens the message, uncovers gaps in continuity, and optimizes the balance in discussions of constituent topics. Overall visibility of the entire proposal usually can be accomplished, permitting rapid comprehension of the quality of organizational and production parameters, and the effect of changes on these. Proposals printed in the storyboard format are more interesting and easier to read.
